Layered Salad Lunch

There are some days that what I pack for lunch puts me in my happy place and other days, it is just fuel.

This my friends was a happy place kind of day.

What you see there is a layered salad of Cucumber, Sauerkraut, Brown Rice, Tomato, Basil and Spinach with a drizzle of Olive Oil before the spinach and basil went on top.  Per usual, salt and pepper were added at the office.  The chewiness of the brown rice complimented the textures of the fresh vegetables.  Then the sauerkraut brought the right amount of acidity to the party.  Usually vinegar is too strong of a flavor for me so I loved the subtle twang of it.

I love summer and all it has to offer.
